Fig.5: Levels of circulating cytokines in CIA mice upon
treatment with IVIG
We analyzed the concentrations of the inflammatory cytokines IFNγ,
IL-1β, IL-17, IL-6, TNFα, in the plasma of CIA mice ± treatment with
IVIG, PBS or on-treated.
The data are presented as concentration in pg/ml. n = 10 per group. A)
IFNγ Kruskal-Wallis, χ2(2) = 42.76; B) IL-1β
Kruskal-Wallis, χ2(2)=42.77; C) IL-6 Kruskal-Wallis,
χ2(2)=43.22; D) IL-17 Kruskal-Wallis,
χ2(2)=42.42 ; E) TNFα Kruskal-Wallis,
χ2(2)=38.6. p<0.001 for all studied groups
of mice.
